Replace Angel Eye bulb for LED help
Today I received my replacement LED kit for my angel eyes for my 2008 X3. I guess it turns out that my car doesn't have the H8 bulb, but rather an H6 bulb. What I received as a direct replacement in LED form does not fit at all. I kept thinking I was pulling the wrong bulb, but is not the case.
Does anyone know if they make a replacement for the lights that my car is outfitted with? It's pretty dang frustrating as I ordered the part for a "2008 BMW X3 E83," which is exactly what I've got. I guess maybe they used the light setup from a 2007? Does anyone know anything about this stuff?? Your help is extremely appreciated. I just hope the guy on eBay will take my stuff back!!! Here is the link to what I ordered: http://www.ebay.com/itm/380986249977 |

Here is my car, my headlights, and the bulb that powers the angel eyes, or rather, AMBER eyes -- and again, I have no idea why this doesn't fit like it was supposed to. I only thought to go for this because i read so many posts that said, "Took me five minutes. Results are amazing."

I ordered some today from here. https://beyonddrivenauto.com/bmw-angel-eyes-LED-upgrade-E39-E60-E63-E64-E53-X5
It's the same bulb that goes in the e39 and some X5s. I ordered the 32w version. I installed the 10w bulbs in my e90 and they look great, nice and bright. |

Umnitza makes a decent led bulb (ICE v6), but they're expensive for what it is at $100. They're just aren't many bulb options for this type. |

One bulb per side. Fiber optics carry the light from the light box the bulb shines into over to all 4 ends of the rings in one headlight housing. The AE bulb is separate from the low and high beam bulbs.
